R. E. Bell, of the Safety section ofthe railroad administration of theNorthwestern region spoke at lengthon the growing success of the safetymovement, and the marked advantagethat had been gained by the specialsafety campaigns that had been estab-lished on various roads. Those specialefforts looking towards a greater de-gree of safety should be andthe periods of united effort broadeneduntil it became a matter of constanthabit among all men in the mechanicaldepartments, and none were in a bet-ter position to encourage the laudableobject than the general foremen. Special reports were presented oil thesubject of welding, and itwas gratifying tj observe that a large. President of the Intcrrational General Fore-mens Association, 1916-19. number of the members showed a wideknowledge of the subject. The neces-sity of pre-heating in the care of gaswelding was generally agreed on, andmuch stress was laid on the naturaladaptability of individual young men tomake good operators. All art may besaid to be developed by experience, buta natural aptitude for such work ex-hibited itself very frequently and itshould be looked for and new points were given as to theadvisability, not only of pre-heatingand annealing, but of shrinking bandsaround the ends of thin cylinders tolessen the chance of new cracks de-veloping in worn cylinders. The costsof the various kinds of welding broughtout a considerable variation in esti-mates, which, doubtless a larger ex-perience will equalize. Draft gears also received consider-able attention from a number of th
